I'm looking to replace obsolete/limited Creative X-fi setups that worked well for a long time to wirelessly stream music to non-portable PC speakers around the house (each with two satellites and a subwoofer). The Creative system had its own transmitter/receiver system - ten-plus years old - and worked well for a long time, but now I'd like to feed/control different speakers independently, which is beyond the capacity of this old system.
I'm thinking this should be easy via WIFI - but 99% of the time I want my source to be *Pandora via my desktop PC* - rarely if ever would my music be coming from a smartphone app. Might a device like this one work? Seems like it's got to stream from a smartphone... https://www.amazon.com/ANEWISH-Wireless-Receiver-Airplay-Adapter/dp/B01N5FOVAJ/ref=sr_1_28?ie=UTF8&qid=1530990282&sr=8-28&keywords=wifi+audio+receiver
What hardware options exist? What are they.../called?/
I prefer WIFI to Bluetooth for range. No battery-powered devices need apply.
Thanks - Dave
